Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Fascists have a tradition of coopting left rhetoric. The NSDAP were called "national socialist worker party" for a reason. The quote alone could be used by unions and other leftist organizations but it is cooptable by the Right

In that specific context, but what he's saying describes how humans ever made any progress with anything.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but is he?

The metaphor of this meme is that the apes represent the working class and that together they are strong. I don't think it needs to go any deeper than that

The Italian term fascismo is derived from fascio, meaning 'bundle of sticks', ultimately from the Latin word fasces.[4] This was the name given to political organizations in Italy known as fasci, groups similar to guilds or syndicates. According to Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini's own account, the Fasces of Revolutionary Action were founded in Italy in 1915.[21] In 1919, Mussolini founded the Italian Fasces of Combat in Milan, which became the National Fascist Party two years later. The fascists came to associate the term with the ancient Roman fasces or fascio littorio,[22] a bundle of rods tied around an axe,[23]an ancient Roman symbol of the authority of the civic magistrate,[24] carried by his lictors.[25] The symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity: a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is difficult to break.[26]

But I don’t think we should let the fascists take ownership over the idea of strength through unity.

Solidarity is strength through unity as well and is the bedrock of many leftist movements.

Insulting hippos is the very definition of their existence.
